Skill-Based Pacing
Children move at the right pace for them — not at the pace of a calendar.
Most schools organize children by birth year. Legacy organizes children by where they actually are. A student who is two years behind in reading and a year ahead in math gets the right instruction in both, without the school pretending those two facts have to match.
WHAT PACING WORKS AT LEGACY
Every student is assessed individually.
Reading instruction begins where the student is, not where the curriculum says a child their age should be. Math, writing, and content-area instruction follow the same principle. When a student is ready to advance, they advance. When a student needs more time, they get it.
Skill-based pacing requires the one-to-three ratio and the daily one-on-one tutoring. The structure of the school exists to make individual pacing possible. The pacing is not a side feature — it is the reason the rest of the structure is the way it is.
SCHOOL STRUCTURE
Legacy is organized into three school groupings: Primary School, Lower School, and Middle School.
These groupings exist for community and developmental reasons — children of similar ages benefit from being together. Academic pacing happens within and across these groupings, not in lockstep with them.
"No one gets left behind. You learn it at your own pace, in your own time, and the teachers tailor to your needs until you get it — and then you move on."
